Child Friendly Websites

Welcome to our ​Cruise into Kindergarten Online Game! Pennsylvania Public Libraries designed this game board to introduce you and your preschool child to engaging online resources to strengthen early literacy, math, and science skills. You are encouraged to click on as many of the game squares as you want, but don't feel like you need to explore them all at once. We want you to enjoy a little screen time with your child, whenever it is convenient for you. The activities will provide opportunities for you to talk, sing, read, write and play with your child. You may want to bookmark your favorite sites as you explore. Please visit your local library to discover more Cruise into Kindergarten resources and programs!
